Draft Grade — Panthers
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB- TradesB- FutureB-
The Panthers won the night they stopped Restrepo from sliding. Grade: B.

Call it larceny. Xavier Restrepo sat on the board until No. 232, and the Panthers did not need to be asked twice.

That quarterback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off. The trenches got the money picks, top to bottom.

Good work on the whole, with quarterback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick4 Rnd1 Mason Graham
In pick No. 4 they get a disruptive interior force. Need was not the driver here.
Pick50 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Nick Emmanwori at slot 50 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick72 Rnd3 Princely Umanmielen
Circle this one: Princely Umanmielen at the 72nd pick is a fall that decides a draft. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick108 Rnd4 Ashton Jeanty
They barely believed it either: Ashton Jeanty still on the board at pick 108. The roster fit checks out.
Pick113 Rnd4 Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron at No. 113 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick140 Rnd5 Jalon Walker
Jalon Walker at the 140th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick144 Rnd5 Wyatt Milum
You do not let an offensive lineman like Wyatt Milum reach Round 5, Pick 6 and blink. They did not. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick156 Rnd5 Tre Harris
They will replay Tre Harris at the Round 5 slot for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick220 Rnd7 Bradyn Swinson
Bradyn Swinson in the Round 7 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick232 Rnd7 Xavier Restrepo
Taking Xavier Restrepo in the 232nd pick is close to grand larceny; a wide receiver that good had no business lasting this long. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
